At the start of the show, Jay shared on his upbringing and what it was like working as a bouncer. Next, we talked about the right way to approach training as you age. We also talked about why so many impressionable kids have the wrong idea of fitness and weight training, and why it’s so important to take the slower process to strength.

We also discussed:

Optimization therapy and why we need it

Why telemedicine is the future

How Jay reshaped his life after a serious health scare

Intermittent fasting and why we don’t need to eat as much as we do

It’s necessary to train with longevity in mind– not just the short term gains of pumping as much iron as possible. The right way to do it is slow and steady, not hard and fast. The wrong approach will destroy your body and only lead to pain.

Why wouldn’t you consider a progressive dosage of testosterone in addition to mitigating other risk factors? The ultimate goal is to build muscle, the greatest deterrent to aging.
